Quilts, Etc.

Hello! I am participating in Papertrey's Make it Monday challenge this week. Betsy Veldman did a video here on how to die cut only part of a die. I received this Hallmark card from a friend and decided to try to case it with stamps of my own.

I set out using the Beautiful Blooms 2 stamp set from Papertrey, aqua mist and raspberry fizz inks, and a sentiment from Inside Out Thank You. I did a trifold card, scoring and folding an 11" x 4 1/2" at 3 1/2" and 8". I am pleased with the results and hope you like it too!

Hello! I am participating in Papertrey's Make it Monday challenge this week. Betsy Veldman did a video here on how to die cut only part of a die. The butterflies in Beautiful Butterflies immediately came to my mind. I had a little trouble with the right side of the butterfly almost cutting through, but due to the thickness of PTI cardstock, it just made an indentation. So with no further ado, here is my card for the challenge.

About Me

Hi! My name is Susan. I started papercrafting in 2010 after my daughters gave me some rubber stamps at Christmas. One thing led to another, and now I have a full studio in which I make cards and other papercrafts. In addition to photography and cardmaking, I also love to quilt. I have quilted about 15 years now. I have pictures of quilts I have made under the "quilting" tab on my blog. Thanks for checking out my blog - hope you come away from it a little bit more inspired than when you came!
